I'm FREEZING..did anyone else?

Me too, me too!(lol) I was dying the first few days I was home, I kept telling DH to turn the heat OFFFFF! I had to sleep with a fan on all day and night, then all of a sudden, I wake up today and I am FREEZING all day! I wonder what this is from? I cant imagine the weight loss, because I have lost this wieght before and never experienced this, unless it is just because it is so rapid, oh well, who knows. Karyn

Kim- I'm right there with ya'!! I was always sweaty - no matter the temp. Now I am so cold. My hands are like ice - I have to run them under warm water for relief (that feels so good!). I've been told this is normal and expected - don't know why. Take care Eileen

Hey Kim! I am 7 days post op as of tomorrow and I actually called my doc last night because I kept getting really bad chills..no other symptoms but the chills, and he said its perfectly normal after surgery to be cold..It doesnt feel normal though! lol..Hang in there girl, stay warm! xo Lisa

Okay, got the answer to the FREEZING question.... Our stomach regulates our body temperature. (This is coming from a corpsman) It decides base on intestines, food, etc when the body needs to heat up and cool down. And guess what, you are missing most of your stomach, so it has a harder time regulating your body temperature. It has to keep your heart, lungs etc warm first, so your legs, feet and arms, aren't getting the same attention. ::hugs:: Cyndi
